    Dam! I was really hoping Yes! Couldn’t have come at a better time…But am I really that naive?…Well after checking out stuff online & reading all the comments from this page I should have known better.
    So glad you have posted this page & seeing how far it’s dated back too…& it’s now just about June ‘2014! Dam Scammers they didn’t get a cent from me & hope they never do from anyone.
    Thank you Jamesmaurer.com keep up the posts:)
    This is the 1st email I received:

    We the entire staff of Staatsloterij NL wishes to congratulate you for being one of the lucky winners in this season’s lottery promotion. This is an independent promotion and is unconnected to any publication. No purchase necessary. You received the winning notice because you have visited one of our sponsored sites and have voluntarily submitted your email address to receive mails from sponsors.

    Outlined herein are the Staatsloterij NL game rules for claiming your prize:

    You must be over the age of 18.

    All winnings must be claimed not later than the 9th of June 2014.

    Any entry without valid collection numbers will be declared void.

    Any entry late, lost or tampered with will be declared void.

    Please ensure that you retain a copy of your initial letter and the game rules (Winners may be asked at any time to produce letter).

    Upon completion of the claim, your documents will be checked and we will endeavour to deliver your award within 5 days.

    The forms must be properly filled out. Any wrong information provided will result in automatic disqualification.

    Winners will be referred to an independent attorney here in the Netherlands to have their forms notarized in order to obtain the Certificate of Award from the Netherlands Gaming Control Board. (This attorney will act as an arbitrator and is not under our payroll)

    All winnings must be notarized here in The Netherlands by order of the N.G.C.B.

    As the winner you are responsible for the legal charges for the notarization and obtaining of the certificate of award. These charges are nondeductible.

    The notarization and acquisition of the certificate of award completes the claim process, failure to do so will cause you to forfeit the prize.

    A double claim will nullify your winnings.

    Your funds have been placed in an escrow account pending the completion of your claim process.

    Note also, that you are not obliged in any way to claim this prize award and you have every right to reject it, this does not affect your statutory rights.

    Employees and their relatives are excluded from participating in this program.

    You are obliged to have your name published as a winner.

    To be eligible for claim you must complete the claims process before the deadline stated in the winning notification you received.

    Filing a claim means acceptance of the full game rules of Staatsloterij NL.

    If you agree to the Staatsloterij NL game rules, reply to this mail stating that you wish to proceed to claim your prize and we will provide you with the forms to start processing your claim.

    You are to fill the forms (Claim form and Payment scheme form) and send it to the appointed lawyer (Details will be sent with forms) for the notarization and acquisition of your certificate of award from N.G.C.B. When completed Staatsloterij NL will approve it and transfer your prize to you through whichever method you indicated on the payment scheme form.

    You must understand that you were selected for this draw through your email address, so the notarization process is vital because with this we can create a link between the lucky email address as well as the winning details to you. Without the notarized forms the N.G.C.B. will not issue the certificate of award which makes you legally entitled to the funds and without this you have no legal claim on the funds.

    This process will also enable us to checkmate double claiming. However, be informed that failure to fill the form properly will result to the cancellation of your lottery winning.

    When replying to this mail, please specify the format in which you want to receive the forms. The forms are available in two formats namely PDF (Adobe acrobat reader) and DOC (Microsoft word). For more information about this contact us on the telephone numbers below or provide your telephone number and we will call you. (When calling from the US or Canada remember to dial 011 in front)

    CONGRATULATIONS!

    Note: The claiming process must be completed before the deadline. The expiration date is stated in the winning notification you received.

    Best regards

  15. quincy says:

    I have just received a email on march 12th 2009 claiming that i have just won an award sum US 1,000,00 and i really thought i really won until my wife told me that this is a scam. i asked her how she knows? She told me that people send e-mails like this and when you call they ask for money or your bank account number and certain people who do give there personal information because they thought that their day has finally came to shine.

    i know that these people can be caught and the ones who do get caught for these scams should be punished with a heavy prison sentence.because some of the people who get tricked with these scams is people like me, who is barely making it and i have a child on the way and its my first child and also my wife first child and if i didn’t have my better half to think for me when i cant i would have been screwed!

    So i really do hope a large group of these scam artists be caught,and one day i will receive a real e-mail saying that i really did win 1,000,000 US dollars.

    ONLY A FOOL PARTS WITH THEIR MONEY BEFORE THEY SCRUTINIZE AND INVESTIGATE E-MAILS. YOU HAVE WON OR CONGRATULATIONS WINNER
    anyone receiving e-mails stating they have won $ or inheritance these are all scams and majority wanting you to send payment of costs for delivery is bullshit as any winner or other(inheritance) etc no money is needed to be sent or demanding opening an account or giving your bank account. this is very dangerous as they can clean your accounts of your money. Most want payment sent to NIGERIA, WESTERN UNION, NETHERLANDS GAMING BOARD, or NTHERLANDS etc. Always ask e-mailer to just send prize as no money is required by law internationally or by government bodies, or delivery charges, as delivery charges are payable by sender. if they cant do this then it is a scam. I get plenty of these e-mails in NEW ZEALAND. Unlike many of you people I play and string them along making them think they have got me them I give them my knockout punch, never to here from them again. NOTHING LIKE A DOSE OF THERE OWN MEDICINE! LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!

  22. Atoosao says:

    I received the e-mail said that I won 1,000,000……it just require me to send the information to them……Is this true or it is a scam?? of course….if that is true, i will very very happy but they want me the charge delivery.!!

    please tell me it is true or not this email is from shell global lotto promotion board.

  29. Glenda Toledo says:

    I received the following email in response to a follow-up message I sent regarding the original notification. The first asked if it were real. This one made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!

    Don’t tell anyone? Open a bank account for them? Give up all my personal information? WTF? No thanks. Internet Users BEWARE!

    I’ll wait for PCH to show up at my door.

    From: Mr. Steven Hopes,
    Fiduciary Agents,
    Payment Release Agents to:
    The Google Group! Gaming Board E-Lottery Programs.

    Dear Winner,

    Many thanks for contacting me. As you already know, I am Mr. Steven Hopes, and I am the Fiduciary Agent of Google International Lottery.

    Haven contacted me and provided the details and reference contained in your email, I am in position to confirm to you that there is an E-mail Lottery Prize, which amounts to One Million American Dollars, USD $500,000.00 attached to the ticket numbers (XXXXXXXXXXXXX ) which you have provided to me.

    I say congratulations for being the owner and user of the E-mail address attached to this prize. Being in this position, I can understand that you are not sure of what to do, but let me assure and guarantee you that it is my duty to assist you, and I will assist you in every manner possible, to ensure that you claim your Google Lottery Prize with few days.

    Please note that you must not at anytime inform any other person of your Lottery Prize Winning information, that is to say that your communication with me must be held confidential at every time for the safety of your Google Lottery prize.

    This is so because I would consider whoever contacts me with your Google Winning Prize Reference and Winning Numbers as the winner of the Lottery Prize, so if you give any body your Winning Numbers, and they contact me, you might lose your Google Lottery Prize. Please take very important note.

    Furthermore, let me confirm to you that we have been informed by the Google Gaming Board that the winner of this lottery prize would contact us to claim the prize, and we are willing and open to cooperate with you in every manner possible.

    We would like to know you a bit better, hence the information, which I am going to request of you below. But before that, please be informed of the following:

    1. The Google prize which you have won, has not attracted a ticket, therefore, the prize is uninsured. Because the prize is uninsured, We are not in position at anytime to access your prize or restrict you from claiming your prize. You have absolute right to claim your prize and utilize it as you deem fit.

    2. Because your prize is attached to the reference numbers attached to your email address, We do not know you personally. As a result, your prize is presently being deposited in a Suspense Account with our paying bank.

    We propose that your Google Lottery Prize would be transferred to you via banking channels. However, the prize cannot be transferred directly out of the Suspense Account with our paying bank, because for a transfer to take place there must be a signatory to such account, and the Suspense Account in which your Google Lottery Prize is deposited presently has no signatory.

    3. You would therefore be required to open a Personal Account with our paying bank, and after this is completed, your lottery prize would be moved out of our Suspense Account with our paying bank and lodged into your Personal Account with our paying bank, and from your account with our paying bank your prize can be wired into any other accounts as you may wish.

    Having stated the above and hoping that you understand the details therefore, I would need you to provide me with the following details below within 72 hours, to enable me proceed with the process of releasing your prize money:

    Your complete names and physical address.
    Your company name and physical address.
    Your private and work, if available, telephone and fax numbers.
    A copy of your internationally acceptable means of identification, for example your International Passport or Country Passport or Driver’s license or company staff ID.

    As soon as I receive the above ID document/ Details from you, alongside confirmation that the information above is understood by you, I would be able to advise you further. I shall forward you a copy of my International Passport for your perusal as soon as your ID is received by my office.

    I thank you for your understanding, and say congratulations to you. Please confirm receipt of this email, by return email.

    Yours Sincerely.

    next :

    I wish to inform you that your winnings cannot be transferred or deducted directly to you account in your country, neither can a check be drawn from your winnings. Your winnings as presently constituted is deposited in a suspense account as prescribed by the EGB, to ensure that payment is made to you in its full and legally approved amount.If you are familiar with the workings of a suspense account then you will know that financial transactions cannot be effected from it, because it is only used to hold temporary entries of credit till a proper disposition is determined for the re-direction of the funds.

    This lottery is essentially designed as an internet based lottery in which cash prizes are awarded to email addresses, making the owner of the email the beneficiary to the cash prize. In line with the regulations for internet based lotteries, all cash prizes are to be insured with a hard cover policy and deposited in a suspense account pending the validation of the beneficiary.

    After this validation process, the winner normally receives his/her cash prize in his/her local account. However, what obtains in your case is that you are not a resident of the Netherlands; hence you do not have any locally registered account facility that can accommodate your cash prize. Statutory financial policies guiding the remittance of such winnings to foreigner?, demands that such person must have a locally operated account that will provide the necessary securities to accommodate the cash prize.

    In light of this, you are required to open an Non-resident account with a bank that will be appointed by the Gaming Board. This account will be setup in your name and will offer you the maximum security and privacy in the transfer payment of your cash prize, such that it will be more or less like you transferring funds from one account of your to another.

    Please be informed that the initial deposit to setup the account preference will be paid by you and cannot be deducted from your cash prize due to the bonded insurance policy covering your winnings.

    The initial deposit requirement is the minimum balance that can be maintained in the account in order to keep it running for financial transactions. In order words, if you decide to close your account with the paying bank after your total cash prize has been transferred then you are at liberty to also take back your initial deposit to close the account.

    Another important point of note here is that the initial deposit which you will use to open your account is not a fee or charge which you are paying to the bank.Rather it will still belong to you because it will be credited to your account along with your total prize sum once your account is fully setup.So you have the opportunity of get back your initial deposit used to activate your account.

    The initial deposit is only meant to provide the necessary securities for your account to be able accommodate your prize sum of $2,500,000.00.

    So be informed that you will be required to make payment of the Initial Deposit of any of the account options that you choose to the bank here in Netherlands in order that your account may be fully activated. You will only be able to transfer your prize after your account has been activated.

    Please confirm your choice of account and the date you intend to make payment of your Initial Deposit to the bank, after which we will forward your details to our Payment Bank. The bank will guide you on how to activate your account as soon as they receive your details.

    I hope you understand this information, and i hope to hear from you soon.

  41. Hanga says:

    Dear deeply honored Netherlands gaming board,

    I am in urgent need of your help. I am told to have won one million euros which sum is in vaults/already on my created account in post bank in Amsterdam. They refer always to you telling that you have placed so high insurance on it that it cannot be paid still.

    First i had to pay 1.750 euros for opening an offshore account and now they demand still almost 5.000 thousand. They tell it is not possible to transfer the money to me until i do not pay again, now this sum.

    I don’t understand, if i am the beneficiary, why can i not order about transferring or deducting from the winning prize? At the same time, the bank hasn’t informed me about all of these charges and it turned out just today, that they had changed their bank policy already on 20 March! Please be so kind to look after this bank and help me to get the money!

    I have paid already so much money that I must also pay back my loans that I have taken up for it!!! I look forward to your kindly assistance and urgent reply in my case to my e-mail address! Is it possible that you modify somehow the insurance you took on it? Please, solve it somehow!

    I am not a millionaire, moreover, I do not have any more money and if I don’t receive the money(with compensations) I will go to bankruptcy…. at the same time, I would not like to see the bank’s name on many internet sites, but if I will need, …they made it to me, they did not inform me! Thank you for your urgent help once again!

    4/10/2008: Guess what ? I am worried folks, I live in the San Bernardino area and the emails I received are initiated from the same person (Mary Van Dotcha) as the one above, sent to Victoria Ramsey on 1/27/2008. There is a Peter Davis (a real man) that has approached me asking for my email and phone number at a conference where all of the people present are supposed to be working members of my home Corporation-BE CAREFUL and email me if you can be supportive anyway. I am upset as our little Family is quite vulnerable. I am contacting my Corporate office to see whether this Peter Davis is legit. If I find out anything, I will let you know. My email is usadmbd@yahoo.com. Thanks.

  48. Patricia says:

    I also received the e-mail telling me that I have won the prize. to my suprise, I had a feeling that this was a scam and told them that this is a scam. Why can’t they deposit the money into my account if I’m the winner? You can’t believe what “Mr Anik Ivan” as I know him from anikivan@live.com said to me. He said that I should deposit Euro 720 which is almost R8300.00 in our currency and he siad that I should deposit it or try to raise the money wihtin 14 days or else my winning will be tranfered to some-one.

    He even phoned me using a private number saying that I must make that payment and after I should call him for my prize. That made me even more suspicious. I phoned my friend and told him about this and he told me to enter this website and see that this is a scam. I’m happy to have a friend like him. I almost got scammed.

    I wish you could do something about this so that most of the people won’t fall for this.

  52. Wisly says:

    dear friends, i can hardly count the number of emails i got from these people, telling that i’m one of the six lucky winners of some kind of drawing. a few day ago , i got an email from this guy Lestra informed me that i won 2,5 millions, he had also sent me a claims form to fill in. I’m getting tired of all this, wondering if there is no offices or organisation to handle against those fraudulent activities.
    Hope that no one has not been enough naive to beleive in those lies.
    be careful, don’t give them any credential information, like your bank account or the number of your passport, just give them what they already know, like your name, adress and so on.

    I recieved an e-mail like this as well, I googled the name “Mr. Edward Lestra” and found this page here. Now that I know it is a scam I am going to hunt this jurk down. FOR REAL!!!! I do not like people trying to mess with me, this jerk made a big mistake, I don’t mind flying around the world to mess him up for it! These scum bags need to learn and the cops have no interest in doing anything because it doesn’t serve an any source of revenue for the city, they pursue parking infractions with a more agressive attitude than these types of frauds.

    Hi,dear all:
    Thank you for the helpful information,I am considering whether it is necessary to give us my basic information,But from all of you,I think it is not necessary to do that,Becuase I think that they will say:please open an account for releasing the money,you need to send some money in the account first,Oh,Come on!Hope that this can cause the next’Luck winner’to note.Thank all of your information!

  61. RAMON says:

    HI, I RECEIVE THE SAME INFORMATION. BUT I RECEIVE THE MR. EDWARD LESTRA. HE CONTINUE THE PROCESS TO CLAIME THE GIFT.

    HE CALL ME BY TELEPHONE AND I QUESTION: THIS IS REAL OR NOT?, HE IT SAID, IF IT WAS NOT REAL, I NOT CALLING YOU.

    I QUESTION YOUR NAME AND HIM SAME. I QUESTION, YOU WORKING TO NATIONAL LOTERRY, AND HE SAID YES.

    HE EXPLAIN ME, THAT MY PRIZE IS IN A ACCOUNT IN YOUR BANK WAITING FOR ME. ONLY I NEED OPEN ACCOUNT AND HE SEND THE MONEY BY TRANFERS TO THIS ACCOUNT.

    I HAVE IT DOUBTS AND ITSELF BE NOT TO DONE THAT.

  62. Amanda says:

    I received all of the same emails everyone is talking about. It said I won $2,500,000.00 and to send my name and all of that information to a Mr Edward Lestra. I was curious so I did. He sent me back a claims form to be filled out and faxed to him. I did that too out of curiosity and he called me back on the phone telling me that they were going to check all my information and make sure that I was “worthy of the prize.” Two days later I recieved another email thhat said I passed the screening and that I had to choose the kind of account I wanted to open- daily, premium, or platinum that required different amounts of money to deposit to get the account open so I could transfer the money online. I know that all of it is a scam and I am going to let Mr Lestra know that and that I will be contacting my lawyer to see if there is anyhting I can do about it so no one falls for these wanna be scam artists because I know they were waiting to here from me and get my money.

    now should i belive it . Does this kind of lottery actually exists .
    WHy NGB can’t take any action if this is fraud & save people from
    these frauds.

  86. Caislin Weathers says:

    I received an annouuncement from “Powerball Lotto” — Lotto-Wheel E-Games 2007–that, based on selecting my email addess they had a cheque in my name for $500,000. I had to send them either $2500 or $5000 to set up an account with Regio bank into which they would place these winnings. Up until then I thought maybe it was for real. One option was to travel to the Netherlands for “cash collection” as opposed to the bank transfer, but I doubt many people from the US to that.

  87. Tony says:

    I received e-mail from Lotto.nl (infolothzisn-at-walla.com, with contact e-mail snsbnk-at-aim.com (again!). Like, I won 1 million euros on online award program to promote internet using (among 50,000 companies).

    In the second e-mail (supposed to be from the SNS Bank in the Netherlands) that I must work with the banks notary to confirm my identity, send my photocopied ID or drivers licence, bank account et al, so the Netherlands Gaming Board can clear my winnings. And, oh boy!), that I have to deposit a minimum sum at the bank, not deductible, they say. Of course, I didn t send what they wanted. Strange they sent this to my office e-mail, which is evident from the e-mail address.

  88. Lynn says:

    In fact, the reason that I almost believed this lie, because they even gave the phone number of Fedex, and person from Fedex contacted with me, too.
    Because I thought, even Netherlands is fake, would Fedex cheat me with them?

    or it just like my sister said, because Fedex didn’t know what Netherlands tell a truth or a lie?

  89. Lynn says:

    I just got the same e-mail last week.

    I was so happy, but I didn’t really believe it, because I felt it was fake, but I really hope it was true. Few days later, I decided to tell my mother, my mother told my father and sister, both of them called me from Taiwan to America, just tried to remind me it must be fake! They told it doesn’t make any sense that someone would give me money without any purpose.

    Tell the truth, I was not really happy to heard that, but I still consider about what they said, then I got online to do some research, then I found out: it is a fake one!!!

    After that, I tried to ask them something, but they never answer me, just wanted me to send my account to the bank in Netherlands as soon as possible, if not, they would dismiss my qualication of winning. I e-mail them, how about give one million U.S dollars to poor people, and I gave them a website to contribute, also told them I will call World Vision group to make sure if they do it.

  90. Sambrook says:

    If it is too good to be true then it probably is not true – how on earth do people foall for this cobblers?

  91. Administrator says:

    It sure will not hurt – if they get enough of these scams from Dayzers Loterij I’m sure they will do something! At least you are letting others know about this as well and possibly saved someone a lot of money!

    Thank you for posting!

    I received an e-mail stating that I won $500,000US from Dayzers Loterij. They wanted me to contact SPLFREIGHT to make arrangements to receive my check. I must pay for the delivery to me. The company who sent me the information told me not to say anything to anyone until they contacted me with the instructions. Should I turn this over to the local police???

    Hi Bill,

    The Netherlands Gaming Board notification you received is a big trick to get your money. Seems like a great deal, $1,000 for $1,357,999 dollars, doesn’t it ($1,357,399 US equals 1,000,000 Euros).

    It’s not – think $1,000 for nothing and you’ll be more in line.

    Fact it, these types of email are a big scam, it can be the Netherlands Gaming Board or Google Lotto, they are all fake and you will be giving away your money.

    In fact, there is something going around where they use Western Union to wire you $1,000 up front – you think you have the money, but really, it takes 3 days to clear (something like this). Most people in that 3 days fall for the trick and by the time they try to get their money back, it is too late.

    recieved a email saying i won 1million euros and want us to send 1114.00$ us dollars to get the winning ticket through western union.
    This might be a scam! hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

    Received an email from E.U Lottery Online Agency which is too good to be true but looks authentic enough. The prize is one million euros. the email address is eulagencybzz at aim.com. Not biting !!!

    So has anyone ever actually attempted to receive the funds or actually paid for the transfer? What happens when you do actually pay the courier service? How do people go about reporting this type of thing to any authorities?

    Sincerely,
    Heather M. Crowe
